This study’s purpose was to explore the correlation of Quality of Life with Happiness in Elderly males and females. The total sample of the study was 50 old adults (Males=25, Females=25) aged above 60 years. The sample was randomly selected from the urban area of the city. The results revealed that Quality of Life and Happiness are dependent on each other in old-age but there were no significant gender differences in both of the variables i.e. Both males and females elderly scored almost equally in Quality of Life and Happiness","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121462041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spirituality commonly comprises a search for meaning and purpose in life. To cope up with the adverse situations as well as promoting the mental health conditions of adolescents, spirituality act as a protective shield for them. The aim of the current investigation was, (a) To study the relationship of spirituality and its dimensions (self-discovery, relationships, & eco-awareness) with resilience and mental health among adolescents; and (b) To explore how spirituality and its dimensions (self-discovery, relationships, & eco-awareness) predicts resilience and mental health among adolescents. The study was performed on 60 school-going adolescents by using a random sampling technique. Participants completed the measure of the Spirituality Scale, Resilience Scale, and Mental Health Inventory. Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation and Regression Analyses were used to analyze the data. Findings of the study propagated the positive and significant relationship of spirituality with resilience and mental health among adolescents and spirituality was found as a good predictor of resilience and mental health. Furthermore, eco-awareness and self-discovery dimensions of spirituality emerged as significant predictors of resilience and mental health respectively.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134383439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on the relationship between temperament as well as hostility and negative effects of alcohol intake found rigid alcohol patterns. Hostility is positively correlated with negative consequences of drinking. Since an external orientation seems to be connected with the induces of maladjustment, one might expect that alcoholics and heavy drinkers will be externally oriented, however many others contradicted this study and said that alcoholics are internally oriented. In our study, two groups of alcoholics and non alcoholics have been taken. The study has been conducted on males only. The age range includes subjects of 18-27 years. The fathers and sons are studied and have been further divided into four groups where either or both the fathers and sons are alcoholics. An analysis was conducted to study differences in alcoholics and non alcoholics on the variables of hostility and locus of control. Results show that the non alcoholics are high on internal locus of control and powerful others. They are also having higher mean scores on covert hostility. Alcoholics are showing high mean scores on overt hostility Further on, four groups were analyzed on the variables with the help of ANOVA by finding out the within and between group differences. Turkey’s Post Hoc is applied to find where the differences lie. Main effects and interaction effects were summarized with the help of factorial design. Significant mean differences were found mostly between group I(alcoholic sons with alcoholic fathers) and group IV (non alcoholic sons having non alcoholic fathers) on the variables of overt and covert hostility, internal locus of control and powerful others.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124461493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The projective inventory (PI) is a 69 item (statements) scale consists of 6 situations designed to measure integrity. Integrity has six dimensions: a) Belief in higher order principles: truth, (b) Money as means not as end, (c) Moral courage: indifference to suffering, (d) Commitment to family and friends, (e) Involvement in corruption and (f) Favoritism. The projective inventory yields a total score and six scores corresponding to the dimensions of integrity. Each score was calculated according to agreement and disagreement to the statements given by the participants during the data collection. The results revealed that the average score on positive dimensions of integrity (moral courage: Indifference to suffering, truth & commitment respectively) were higher than the negative values traits of integrity (involvement in corruption & favoritism). Reliability of the projective inventory integrity is 0.94. The construct (convergent) validity of the test was examined in which the correlation of PI scores with Big Five personality attributes was found to be moderate, which indicates that PI measures something related to existing tools of integrity in slightly different manner. Factor analysis was carried out to find the factor structure of the scale. Factor analysis revealed three factors in terms of indifference to suffering commitment and truth. Taking all the dimensions of integrity together and analyzing the step-wise regression analysis, it was found that indifference to suffering is the best predictor of overall test followed by favoritism, commitment, corruption and truth.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127359511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
